Description:-

Natural or man-made disasters can bring healthcare services to a halt. You can’t continue your business as usual if your resources are wrecked. To comply with HIPAA, you need to have resiliency in your services as listed in the HIPAA data recovery plan. Not only disasters but cyber-attacks can also pose a risk to PHI (Protected Health Information). Therefore, it becomes essential for a healthcare organization to maintain and protect the data, especially in case of emergency.

To comply with HIPAA and to protect PHI under various circumstances, it becomes necessary to understand the requirements of HIPAA Security Rule. It is also vital to know that these rules apply to multiple scenarios as in case of flood, tornado, or fire. These multiple scenarios are the reasons behind the destroying the assets of information, Ransomware, or cyber-attacks, which results in stealing the data. 

In this conference, we will discuss various strategies for dealing with emergencies and cyber-attacks which can pose a threat to PHI. Recommendations from the US Department of Health and Human Services and the National Institute of Standards and Technology will also be discussed. The speaker will also examine various emergencies and how the responsibilities may alter within the area of calamity. It may also require the medical practitioners and nurses to provide emergency relief and healthcare services on the go.
